Is Canada Still a Safe Country? | LCol. David Redman

About this episode

Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret.) David Redman discusses the security risks facing Canada and the challenges in border control and immigration enforcement.

Canada is not secure, and according to Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret.) David Redman, the risks and our "enemies" are already here. Redman, who served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 27 years, reveals just how weak Canada's border is, our failing immigration enforcement, and explains how the courts and policing systems are not keeping up with reality. He raises serious concerns about known threats operating freely in Canada, questions whether Canada is properly prioritizing its own military before sending billions to Ukraine, and warns that allies like the United States may act to protect their own interests regardless of Canada’s position. What does it take to get Canada back in control of its borders, its laws, and its national security?
